Well I have 1 680 and I have anti aliasing maxed and I don't dip under 60 apart from very occasionally so it's not that impressive is it really?

Well consider he is running Eyefinity and well.....

Oops, I didn't see the Eyefinity bit. Make more sense now

I retract previous statment!

I for one, will be keeping an eye out on the 7970 prices here. If they can get the Sapphire OC edition to £359.99 i'd buy it in a heartbeat.

It probably will reach that price, but not untill it is made redundant by the 8000 series cards.

Look at how the 580 has retained its price..

I'm sorry, but a 6990 is nowhere near xfired 7970's.

http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/HD_7970_CrossFire/5.html

75fps vs 122fps @ 1920x1200.

Yes I'm talking about a 6990 and an unlocked 6950 running tom6970 clocks in tri fire!

straxusii · 13 Apr 2012 at 11:29

Now the 7970's really are £360!

kmax86 · 13 Apr 2012 at 11:30

ooo nice 10% discount

Broken Hope · 13 Apr 2012 at 11:40

Says discount code can't be used with free shipping, so you miss out on a fairly hefty discount to save like £9 delivery.

Presumably you can have the 10% discount if you pay for delivery.

Does "other offers" include things like Today Only or This Week Only though?

If it doesn't, there is a 7970 I won't hesitate to get.

If it does... well, then I might get some 7970's

Ah bugger, just noticed codes won't start getting mailed out til next week wednesday

Moron · 13 Apr 2012 at 13:28

It'll onyl mean waiting a few days if you're eligible.
I've justed liked the page and sent the email so we'll see what we get. Would make a 7970 significantly more affordable.

eyetrip · 13 Apr 2012 at 13:33

Maybe, but I am a hugely impatient person

Perhaps by that time I can talk myself into keeping my current cards no matter what...

Was just so hoping for 1200 core. Not even sure now I can get 1160 at decent temps/volts.

The Sapphire 7970 OC's are looking very tempting to me currently.

You're thinking of going from a 7950 to a 7970?

Yes.

And yes, I know how crazy some people will think that is.

I have my reasons, but it all comes down to price in the end.

ObixConstant · 13 Apr 2012 at 13:43

Is that discount code for one item or for your order total ?
